Slap on the wrist
The Saskatchewan Liberal Party have dodged a bullet. Chief Electoral Officer Jean Ouellett announced Wednesday that although the party was late filing some of its paperwork, missing the May deadline, it's not going to lose official party status.
Ouellet said Wednesday the Liberals convinced him the error happened "as a result of inadvertence or an honest mistake of fact." He also said the Liberals have taken steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.
An honest mistake of fact - the Liberals need to do a better job of reading a calendar. It wasn't like they were busy contesting any elections and the other parties all filed on time. The party needs to do a better job of showing people it can pay its bills before anyone will vote for them to pay all bills.
